What I've Seen

You pass me on the sidewalk You sit next to me on the train. You’re pretending you don’t care But I can see your shame. You don’t care if I am sleeping You sit away from me when I am drunk. If you just took a second I would tell you what I came from. I came from a broken system I fell through the cracks. Some people tried to help me But soon stop in their tracks. You say I am homeless I say I’m living off the land. Maybe if we all crashed at the bottom You would see what I see. I see a beautiful world Being choked by power and greed. I see animals dying And it’s getting harder to breathe. I see people getting distracted About the “News” on the T.V. I see all the heart is gone And no one is helping their fellow man. I see all the pain and suffering But never a helping hand. I see voice’s going unheard While people blame the victims. I see leaders taking bribes And commending other tyrants. I see our children suffering At th...

Apprehension

I don’t know what to think. Is there something I am missing? Is it something I said? I told you how I felt But I don’t know if you feel the same. Am I going to quickly Or is my mind just a mess? Was it truly the beginning Or just the beginning of the end? I can’t tell But I am feeling the apprehension setting in. Maybe I wasn’t cut out for this. Maybe I am wrong. I hope you do prove me wrong Because I deserve this. I beat myself up. I run through everything in my mind. But I don’t see how I can come out on top. At least, not yet. I might just be overthinking. I might just be beating myself up for no reason. But this feeling of apprehension Isn’t going away. Not just yet. 02/10/2018

Broken things

Broken Things Somethings aren’t meant to be fixed Somethings are meant to stay broken. I feel like I’m falling Failing to grab anything that will make me stop. Why do I find myself in these predicaments? I always fix others And I never fix myself. I always care for everyone else And I neglect myself. I wear this mask To hide my true feelings. You don’t notice, No one ever does. Don’t beat yourself up about it. It’s just the truth. Somethings aren’t meant to be fixed Somethings are meant to stay broken. I feel the soft salty rivers, Wanting gouge canyons in my cheeks But the rain that caused them Won’t cease. I breathe deep, hold my resolve Wipe my face So no one can see. Somethings are meant to stay broken Somethings aren’t meant to be fixed. Maybe one day I will find what completes me, But I don’t think this will be any time soon. I am always happy to fix someone else I’m just sorry it had to be you. Why did it ...
